Yikes, did NOT intend to hijack the thread with my response to Marmie. Back to the OP...
IMO, online assessments have difficulty with Thinking and Intuition. Ti-doms sometimes seem like Te users. Back to Marmie's INTP example - the act of composing 86 paragraphs (and sourcing references) might be interpreted as Te activity by test writers. Also, IRL employers don't pay Ti-users to sit around all day and think - they expect Te results in return for the paycheck. Not uncommon for Thinking types to identify themselves as extraverted T's.
Intuition is so poorly understood (even by dom/aux Intuitives) that the entire domain should ideally be excluded from amateur MBTI (best left to professionals).
I agree that absence of certain functions is a better strategy for casual MBTI testing (for entertainment purposes only). If you have a black hole where your Fe should be then it shouldn't be difficult to that detect that "deficiency" via questionnaire. The sensory functions (Si/Se) are also easy targets. Likewise E/I preference.Well, what I have noted is that individuals can understand/relate to the other functions; but they cannot relate to or at best choose to ignore their PoLR. It's a trickier business when their tert-opposite is not a J type function.
